Wayne County deputy dies in crash on Lodge freeway
Ryan Phillips was killed in the crash when his SUV ran off the roadway and up the embankment at Chicago on the northbound side of the freeway. The SUV rolled back onto the freeway after a striking a tree, according to Michigan State Police.
Phillips was ejected from his vehicle at some point and was declared dead at the scene. When emergency vehicles arrived, the SUV was on fire and blocking more than one lane of traffic.
State police said that Phillips was not using a seatbelt.
"We are reminding drivers to wear their seatbelts," said MSP 1st Lt. Mike Shaw. "Not only will it keep you behind the wheel, it will keep you inside the vehicle if it rolls over. This crash pends further investigation and ME reports."

Julio César Chávez Jr. arrested by ICE 4 days after Jake Paul loss
Former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested in California by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Thursday in a statement. The Mexican boxer lost to Jake Paul via unanimous decision on Saturday, a splashy headlining bout that was carried on Netflix as Paul sought to bolster his earning power and legitimacy in the sport. Advertisement According to DHS, the fight took place one day after Chávez was determined to be in the country illegally. The agency added in its statement that it believed that Chávez was an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel, the criminal network known for producing and distributing illicit drugs on a mass scale while also wielding power through violence and intimidation. Chávez's managers did not respond to a request for comment. 'Chávez is a Mexican citizen who has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives,' the DHS said in its statement. The agency said that Chávez was connected with the cartel through his spouse, who was previously connected with the son of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, according to the statement. The Sinaloa Cartel was deemed a Foreign Terrorist Organization by President Donald Trump, DHS said. According to the agency's statement, Chávez was allowed to reenter the United States in January on a temporary basis, but was found to have made multiple fraudulent statements on an application to become a permanent resident. After his arrest, Chavez is being processed for expedited removal from the United States. It was not immediately clear how the fight was allowed to happen or whether those involved with the bout were aware of the agency's perspectives on Chávez's immigration status. Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), which organized the fight, did not respond to a request for comment. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), which licensed the fighters, did not respond to a request for comment. It was not clear whether the arrest could affect the fight purses for the bout. Chávez, 39, fell to 54-7-1 with Saturday night's loss. He is a son of boxing legend Julio César Chávez, and rose to fame by winning the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and defending it three times. In 2017, he fought Canelo Álvarez to a unanimous decision loss.
